Brief About:
Ailwin is a strategic and logical individual, often masking his differences and emotions, which sometimes makes him appear cold and calculated. Despite this, he genuinely cares for his chosen family, The Forsaken, seeing them as his true kin. Ailwin's traumatic past, including a difficult childhood and a severe injury that left him with a limp, has led him to become a ruthless and cunning leader. He is resourceful, adaptable, and highly intelligent, excelling in planning and executing complex schemes.
Ailwin struggles with expressing emotions, especially love and attraction, and keeps his feelings tightly controlled. His emotional detachment serves as a defense mechanism, protecting him from further pain. Nevertheless, he is fiercely loyal to his crew, particularly to Katrien, and is driven by a deep desire for revenge against those who wronged him.
Ailwin's affinity for city elves, resourcefulness, and adaptability make him a formidable figure in the criminal underworld. Despite his chaotic nature and unpredictability, he commands respect and loyalty from his crew. He continues to lead The Forsaken with a focus on expanding their influence and protecting his chosen family, even as he grapples with understanding his own emotions.

Brief About:
Alaric is an outgoing and charismatic individual with a magnetic presence, known for his infectious enthusiasm and love of life. His passion for music and storytelling allows him to connect with others deeply, often using his charm and wit to uplift those around him. Despite his playful flirtations, Alaric grapples with the fleeting nature of temporary pleasures and seeks a deeper fulfillment through his music and relationships.
He embodies a complex duality, being both a hopeless romantic and a realist, which adds depth to his character. Alaric is strategic, dedicated, and loyal, yet struggles with perfectionism and self-sacrifice. He has a strong sense of moral integrity, disliking chaos, deception, and injustice.
Alaric was born into high nobility in the kingdom of Thyllin in Elvhenan and was initially forced into a life of duty after his father's death. However, his true passion lay in music. During a violent attack on his kingdom, he sacrificed himself to help his friend, Prince Revas, escape. Although captured and enslaved, Alaric's musical talents eventually afforded him a slightly better life as a court jester.
After the Veil went up, Alaric woke up during the Fifth Blight and dedicated himself to helping those in need while staying under the Templars' radar. He traveled incognito, often in animal form, to avoid detection. As the mage-templar war spread, he provided assistance wherever he could, though he remained unaffiliated with the Inquisition.
Realizing the threat posed by the returning Evanuris after the Veil fell, Alaric knew he would eventually have to join the fight to protect his home from becoming another hellscape. His journey is marked by resilience, adaptability, and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place through his music and actions.

Asha is a young woman marked by a life full of extraordinary challenges, from a magical coma to captivity and the loss of her father. Despite these hardships, she remains resilient, friendly, and empathetic, always striving to make the best out of difficult situations. She is highly creative, with a passion for scrapbooking, tattoos, and animals, and a deep love for learning and music. Asha’s strong sense of justice and loyalty drives her to stand up for others, even as she struggles with the fear of disappointing those she loves, particularly her demanding mother.
Asha is compassionate and determined, using her experiences to fuel her growth and help others. However, she grapples with feelings of inadequacy and fear, often masking her inner struggles with a cheerful exterior. Her fears are rooted in the expectations placed upon her and the potential loss of loved ones, which pushes her to strive for perfection and protect those she cares about. Asha's connection to the spirit world, developed during her coma, adds a unique dimension to her character, providing her with rare insights and abilities but also burdening her with the weight of the Fade's influence.
Ultimately, Asha is a complex individual balancing her inner turmoil with outward positivity, determined to forge her own path while living up to the legacy of her parents.
Brief About:
Bajie aligns with Neutral Good, following his moral compass and prioritizing doing what is right over adhering to societal rules. He values personal freedom and autonomy. His strengths include being a master combatant with physical resilience, a tactical mind, and versatile skills. He excels in mentorship and possesses unyielding determination and survival instincts. However, Bajie is haunted by his past, struggles with trust issues, and can be stubborn, bitter, and reluctant to accept help. He enjoys combat, weapons, mentorship, storytelling, challenges, simple pleasures, freedom, and humor, but he dislikes tyranny, slavery, bureaucracy, cruelty, unnecessary killing, and peaches. His phobias include a fear of powerlessness (Atychiphobia), fear of failure (Kakorrhaphiophobia), and fear of losing loved ones (Thanatophobia).
Bajie can come across as opportunistic and untrustworthy, but this stems from his survival instincts. Once his loyalty is earned, it is unwavering. He harbors a fear of heights (or falling) and values humor, simplicity, and personal autonomy. Despite his tough exterior, he possesses a strong moral compass and a desire to make the world a better place, though he is often misunderstood due to his complex layers.
Bajie was born in Andruil's territory 6900 years ago, where he thrived as a natural fighter. As he rose through the ranks, he started a family and became a respected mentor. However, after aiding his protégé Little Flea's escape, he lost everything—status, family, and position—leading him to enter the Long Sleep. Bajie awoke 20 years ago in a vastly changed world, where he resolved never to be subjugated again, embracing a life of autonomy and honing his skills as a master combatant.

Brief About:
Bastien Frost is a chillingly complex individual shaped by a lifetime of abuse, manipulation, and unfulfilled ambition. Born a bastard and raised in a hostile environment by an abusive father and a detached stepmother, Bastien quickly learned to manipulate those around him through charm, deceit, and intimidation. His early years of hardship fostered a psychopathic nature, characterized by a lack of empathy and a perverse enjoyment in inflicting pain. Despite his dark tendencies, Bastien masterfully conceals his true nature behind a façade of charisma and competence, allowing him to navigate social and professional environments with calculated precision.
As he matured, Bastien's sadistic streak and strategic mind propelled him into a career as a mercenary, where his efficiency and ruthlessness made him a sought-after asset for those needing dirty work done without questions. His role overseeing the household servants provided him with ample opportunity to indulge his darker impulses, asserting dominance and control over those under him. Bastien's perpetual outsider status within his family, coupled with his burning desire to prove his worth, fuels his relentless drive for power and control. His charm and strategic acumen make him a formidable opponent, but beneath the surface lies a simmering cauldron of resentment and cruelty, ready to erupt when provoked.
Upcoming plots: Trying to be a single dad and reconnection with family WANTED Ads: None Pets: A Ferelden Wolf Hound named Riley
Brief About:
Branson Rutherford is a resilient and compassionate individual, shaped by his extensive travels and personal losses. His alignment as Neutral Good reflects his deep moral convictions and empathy, especially towards the vulnerable and oppressed. Despite the pain and guilt stemming from the loss of his beloved Liora in Tevinter, Branson remains a dependable protector and steadying force in his family’s life. His adaptability and resourcefulness, honed through years of exploration, make him a versatile figure who balances his adventurous spirit with his responsibilities as a father and brother.
Branson's weaknesses include emotional guardedness and an overprotectiveness towards his son, driven by his fear of losing loved ones and a sense of inadequacy. His tendency to shoulder burdens alone and his internal conflict between his sense of duty and desire for adventure contribute to his emotional complexity. Branson's likes and dislikes further define him: he enjoys exploration, storytelling, and family time, while disliking oppression, dishonesty, and constraint. His phobias—fear of losing loved ones, fear of not being good enough, and claustrophobia—reveal the internal struggles that he faces as he navigates the balance between his personal desires and familial responsibilities.
Upcoming plots: Near death experience thanks to @"Bastien Cooper" WANTED Ads: None Pets: None
Brief About:
Cooper's personality is defined by his abrasive exterior and deep-seated cynicism, shaped by a tumultuous childhood marked by neglect and hardship. In moments of stress, he finds refuge in alcohol, using it as a means to escape from his inner turmoil and to sharpen his sharp-tongued retorts. His past has instilled in him a keen sense of hypocrisy and a low tolerance for perceived laziness, leading him to deliver blunt judgments that often challenge complacency.
Despite his gruff demeanor, there is an undercurrent of empathy within Cooper, though it is obscured by his self-preservation tactics. His confrontational nature serves as a defense mechanism against vulnerability, with his bar, The Back Water, acting as both a sanctuary and a symbol of his attempt at redemption. His reluctant acceptance of fatherhood, through Mina, introduces a rare softness to his character, providing him with a new source of purpose and stability. Cooper's protective instincts for Mina and his attachment to the routine and stability of his bar reflect his deeper struggle for meaning and peace amidst the echoes of his past.

Danny’s life took a dramatic turn from privilege to tragedy early on. Born into a prestigious noble family in Kirkwall, his world was upended at age three when his family was brutally murdered. Orphaned and homeless, Danny wandered the dangerous streets of Kirkwall until he was taken in by a compassionate couple of city elves. Raised in the Elven Alienage, Danny grew up learning resilience and the value of community despite their modest circumstances.
As a teenager, Danny was drawn to the Coterie, a criminal organization that promised protection and excitement.

At 19, Danny found stability and love with his childhood sweetheart, but their happiness was shattered when a Templar crackdown led to her death. Consumed by grief, Danny sought vengeance against the Templars. His vendetta defined his life until a reunion with his presumed-dead friend Nairn brought him back from the brink.

Brief About:
Deme, the youngest child of the Arvina family, has always been marked by his eccentricity and overactive imagination, traits his family indulged given his role as the "spare."

Despite the tragedy, Deme married at thirty, though he lost both his wife and child during childbirth, vowing never to marry again.
As Radonis's apprentice and eventual heir, Deme became Archon at forty-four, following his mentor's death. While his passion for leadership has kept him grounded, his eccentricity has evolved into increasingly erratic behavior, raising concerns about his ability to lead.

Brief About:
Gabe is a complex character defined by his sharp wit, cynical outlook, and ruthless cunning. He carries the scars of a traumatic past, having endured a childhood marked by loss, abuse, and neglect. Despite his hardened exterior, Gabe harbors a deep desire to do good in a world he views with skepticism. His moral compass is often swayed by a mix of self-interest and genuine concern for others, making him a paradoxical figure who can be both frustrating and inspiring. While he is notorious for his shady past and conman tendencies, his actions are frequently driven by a desire to protect others from the dangers of demons and spirits, particularly those who prey on the vulnerable.
Gabe's strengths lie in his expertise in demonology, strategic thinking, and resilience, all of which have been honed by years of survival and hardship. However, his emotional trauma, guilt, and mistrust of others often lead to isolation and reckless behavior. Despite these flaws, Gabe remains a deeply conflicted individual who struggles to reconcile the darker aspects of his nature with his desire to make a positive impact. His journey is one of constant tension between his past and the faint hope that he can still do some good in the world.

Brief About:
Garryn Aeducan, son of King Bhelen Aeducan and Rica Brosca, was born in Orzammar before his father took the throne during the Fifth Blight. His mother was assassinated when he was five, leaving him with only faint memories of her. Raised primarily by Moira, a human mage who became his stepmother, Garryn grew up uncertain about his role as heir, wary of the treacherous nature of dwarven politics.
When the Sixth Blight led to the fall of Orzammar, Garryn was thrust into leadership as he evacuated the surviving dwarves to the surface, a decision that haunted him due to those who chose death over life on the surface. Settling first in Ostagar and then in Tantervale in the Free Marches, Garryn became Lord Chancellor but struggled with the responsibilities and pressures of kingship. Ultimately, after a crisis of faith, he chose to abdicate the dwarven throne and his position in Tantervale, seeking a simpler life away from the burdens of leadership.

Brief About:
Horus was born in the Free Marches, but his life took a dramatic turn when a violent storm separated him from his family as a toddler. Washed ashore in Rivain, he was rescued by a band of pirates led by Captain Victoria, who raised him as her own. Growing up on a pirate ship, Horus learned the ways of the sea, combat, and survival. Despite the dangers of pirate life, he found a makeshift family among the crew, who protected and cared for him deeply.
As he matured, Horus discovered his magical abilities, including shapeshifting and healing, which became invaluable to his pirate family. With the help of an old Rivaini witch, he learned to control his powers while keeping them hidden from the outside world. Despite thriving in the freedom of pirate life, Horus began to feel a deep yearning to uncover his origins. This desire led him on a personal quest back to the Free Marches, where he sought to piece together the story of his early life and understand the family and life he had lost.

Upcoming plots: Reconciling with his son, being reunited with Amara, lots of chaos WANTED Ads: None Pets: None
Brief About:
Kellam was born to non-mage parents in a Dalish clan, with an abusive, alcoholic father and a neglectful mother. When Kellam showed signs of magic, his father took pride in him, pressuring Kellam to become the Keeper. Driven by this expectation, Kellam stopped at nothing to achieve his goal, even causing a rival mage's "accidental" death. He eventually became the Keeper, ruling with an iron fist and strict adherence to tradition, believing harsh measures were necessary to ensure the survival of the Dalish.
Kellam married Amara, who softened his harsh demeanor, and they had a son, Ruth. However, when Amara died protecting Ruth from a bear, Kellam's grief turned into bitterness and anger toward his son, whom he unfairly blamed for Amara's death. Kellam's harshness extended to the entire clan, especially the mages under his training. His abuse ultimately drove Ruth to leave the clan.
During the recent Orlesian Blight, Kellam's clan suffered heavy losses, prompting him to lead the survivors north to Arlathan in the Free Marches, seeking refuge despite his uncertainty about being under another's command.

Brief About:
Loghain Mac Tir, born into the noble House Mac Tir, was a skilled military leader who rose to prominence in Ferelden. His defining moment came during the Orlesian occupation, where he became a key figure in the rebellion led by Prince Maric Theirin, helping to drive out the Orlesians and earning widespread respect.
After the rebellion, Loghain served as a trusted advisor to King Maric and became known as the Hero of River Dane. Following Maric's disappearance, Loghain became the regent of Ferelden, focusing on strengthening the kingdom's military and securing its borders. However, his harsh policies and decisions during the Fifth Blight, particularly his refusal to support the Grey Wardens, led to controversy and accusations of betrayal.
In "Dragon Age: Origins," Loghain's actions during the Blight are central to the story, with players confronting his complex character and deciding his fate. Loghain's legacy is one of both heroism and controversy, exemplifying the difficult choices in leadership and the lasting impact of wartime decisions. Despite the controversies, Loghain remained deeply committed to Ferelden's sovereignty and the protection of its people.
